The State Library of Ohio is the one turning over its' collection to the Columbus Metro Library. The OHS library is just that...the one on Velma Ave. They also house the death record collection for Ohio. They were present at the OGS Conference this weekend with their database and people could make 15 minute appointments and get as many death records as possible during the time for only .25!!! One our members came home with about 8 or 10. The OGS Library is located in Mansfield and they are in a building fund drive to build a new library hopefully to open in 2009, the 50th anniversary of OGS. They announced several major contributions today and they are definitely nearing their goal. There will definitely be Hamilton Co. records available next year at the OGS Conference in Cincinnati. We also saw many book awards presented today and a 95 year old woman who has abstracted newspapers for 55 years and is still at it. They said she could talk to you and tell you your parents and grandparents just from her years of reading papers. Very impressive!!

ANyone who wants to do research for the southwest part of OHIO , should definately go to the Hamilton Co. Branch of the Cincinnati Library.. THey have A HUGE genealogy section and a wonderful staff to work with. My husband and I visited it and did research on his family who came from NJ into the Butler and Hamilton Co area... You really do need to see this library and do some great research there.
